Current Muhurtas

In any daytime there are certain periods, which have special meaning.

Yama Ghantaka

{[kalams.yg.start]} - {[kalams.yg.end]}

Rishi Vasishtha: "Yama Ghantaka should always be avoided in any Muhurta for auspicious (Shubha) activity". It is considered that any activity (especially travelling) started during the period of Yama Ghantaka pushes the one towards to death.

Abhijeet Muhurta

{[kalams.am.start]} - {[kalams.am.end]}

Abhijit Muhurta is one of the most auspicious and powerful criteria for initiating all types of works.

Brahma Muhurta

{[kalams.bm.start]} - {[kalams.bm.end]}

Brahma Muhurta is optimal for waking up as well as any activity connected to spiritual practices (such as Hatha Yoga, Dhyana (meditation), etc), creating, planning, projections etc.

Gulikā Kalām

{[kalams.gk.start]} - {[kalams.gk.end]}

According to Jyotish knowledge Gulika Kalam is a very negative (Ashubha) period of time every day that should be shunned for all auspicious and beneficial activities.

Rahu Kalām

{[kalams.rk.start]} - {[kalams.rk.end]}

According to Jyotish knowledge Rahu Kaalam is a very negative (Ashubha) period of time every day that should be shunned for all auspicious and beneficial activities.

Rashi Drishti (sign aspects)

Other settings

Graha

Graha (if translated from Sanskrit) means "the one that controls". The physical bodies of Grahas in our world are planets. But the physical body of each Graha is only a small fraction of the whole concept of the term "Graha" as the planets representing Grahas are only terminals or visual forms. Grahas are also Devatas (Deva is the Sanskrit term for male-deity, Devi - the Sanskrit term for "female-deity), which are the sources of energies that structure everything in our world. With the right use of knowledge about those or other influences that Grahas have, the one can create a Kundali (horoscope) at any object and get a specific picture and knowledge about it.

Rashi

The word "Rashi" can be translated from Sanskrit as "the beam of sparkling constellation" and means the zodiacsign. Each Rashi, being a specific zone in space and time, is responsible for certain areas of life for each person on planet Earth.

Nakshatra

Nakshatras are 27 lunar constellations that in Vedic mythology were considered as 27 wives of Chandra (Moon). According to the legend Chandra was supposed to visit each Nakshatra in strict order, without giving preference to any wife.

Meena

Pisces

The ancient seers gave to this sign not only the name Meena (Pisces), which means
fish, but also Antyaya, which means the end, and Yasha, which means glory.
All these are veiled references to the stage of achievement where the
struggle is over and one has reached the end. During the Piscean process
there is constant progress. At the end, the acme of achievement is realized.
This is the stage beyond which there is nothing further to achieve. It is the
end, the cessation of all efforts. The weary traveler goes to bed to enjoy a
peaceful sleep.

The symbol for Meena (Pisces) is two fish, placed in such a way as to represent the
positive and negative discharges of electric vibration leading to complete
assimilation of one into another. At this stage, there is no movement, no
further excitement; tranquility reigns supreme within the individual. Meena (Pisces) is the cessation of all worldly efforts, the final merging of the individual into
the universal. It bestows much peace and comfort, making the fish a symbol
of auspicious benediction and fertility suggesting that all ambitions have
been satisfied.

Esoterically, Meena (Pisces) represents the impulse under which duality ceases and
only life in its fullness remains. There is no conflict, no contradiction, no
more Trishna or lust for life. The cycle of necessity which causes rebirth has
ended, and all karmas have been annihilated. The individual has attained
Nirvana, his ultimate equilibrium.

It would be deceptive to consider this a sign of death, the end of all. Instead Meena (Pisces) represents the preservation of the essential seed which can blossom
when the next cycle of evolution begins. In Meena (Pisces), there is a great deal of
meditation and reflection, contemplating past experiences so that life's
journey can begin again in full possession of those seeds of experience.
Wherever the Piscean impact falls, such reflection will be vitally important. Meena (Pisces) is feminine, watery and common. From these characteristics, it is
evident that this sign is related to the preservation principle. The primary
function of the female is to procreate, to nourish the seed till the appropriate
time for a new birth arrives; the feminine is receptive and protective. That is
also the quality of water, which sustains and preserves life. As a common
sign, Pisces can become movable or fixed. Guru(Jupiter) owns the sign, which
again emphasizes the same characteristics. Shukra(Venus) is exalted here and
Buddha (Mercury) is debilitated. Sensitivity and intuitive openness are developed
here. Intellectualization, analysis, reason and logic will not be very
successful at this stage. Shukra's surrender and Guru's spirituality are
helpful, but Buddha's connection with the material world must necessarily
bring some kind of disappointment: spirituality brings only frustration when
the ego is attached to material impediments.

There are 2 types of Yogas in Panchanga: Naisargika or Nitya Yogas, that are based on longitudes of the Sun and Moon and Tatkaalika Yogas that are based on combination of Vaara (day) and Nakshatras (constellation)).
